Good | A total of 51 Bluegills were collected ranging from 1.6 – 7.1", with 36 > Stock size of 3.1". Average length was 4.2". Average length was 4.1". This survey met the minimum required number of fish > Stock size (n = 30) to quantify population demographics as set forth in the Lake Management Plan (LMP). This program will be reevaluated in 2026 to see if it is still needed. | |
Very Good | The Common Carp population remains high in the lake which adds to the turbidity of the water. This in turn can inhibit native plant growth for fish habitat and displace more desirable fish species. Removing them from the lake will reduce the fish biomass on the lake and lower the turbidity within the lake. | |
Good | A total of 28 Largemouth Bass were collected ranging from 2.8 – 14.6", with 24 > Stock size of 7.9". Average length was 10.2". This program will be reevaluated in 2026 to see if it is still needed. | |
